Abstract: | Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]W(H)Cl is obtained via reaction of WCl(6) with a mixture of Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]Li(2) and NaBH(4), from which the dichloride Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WCl(2) is obtained via treatment with CHCl(3). Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WCl(2) provides a means to access other ansa tungstenocene compounds, such as Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WH(2), Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WMe(2), and Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]WCO. Of most interest, the reactions of Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]W(H)Cl with organolithium reagents do not yield simple ansa tungstenocene derivatives. Specifically, the reactions of Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]W(H)Cl with MeLi, Bu(n)Li, or PhLi result in the formation of mixed-ring tungstenocene compounds resulting from C-Si cleavage and functionalization of the ansa bridge, namely (Cp(Me(2)))(eta(5),kappa(1)-C(5)H(2)Me(2)SiMe(2)CH(2))WH, (Cp(Me(2)))eta(5),kappa(1)-C(5)H(2)Me(2)Si(Me)(Bu(n))CH(2)]WH, and (Cp(Me(2)))eta(5),kappa(1)-C(5)H(2)Me(2)SiMe(2)(C(6)H(4))]WH, respectively. In contrast to the C-Si cleavage achieved by MeLi, Bu(n)Li, and PhLi, the ansa bridge of Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(2)]W(H)Cl is inert to Bu(t)Li and the product obtained is the fulvene ("tuck-in") complex Me(2)Si(Cp(Me(2)))(eta(6)-C(5)MeH(2)CH(2))]WH derived from dehydrohalogenation. |
